Admiral Adventures in Kindergarten! ⚓
Ms. Huddy and Ms. Lindhart’s classes transformed into detectives! Armed with magnifying glasses and notebooks, they went on a building-wide hunt for elusive Sneaky Es.
While the detectives were busy on the ground, Mr. White’s class spent the day in outer space, including coding LEGO robots to navigate the lunar surface. Great work teams!
Surprise! A Well-Deserved Honor for Ann Bolin!
Mrs. Ann Bolin was surprised today with a school-wide assembly to celebrate her being named a WKU Distinguished Educator in Exceptional Education! Dr. Corinne Murphy, Dean of the WKU College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, presented the award.
From teaching Braille and fostering student independence to leading T. C. Cherry’s morning meetings and the school’s annual cereal drive, Mrs. Bolin is a true advocate and mentor. As her principal Mrs. Sheryl Anderson says, she is a leader for all children.
Congratulations, Mrs. Bolin! We are so proud to have you in BGISD! 💜🍒

Congratulations to the BGHS Esports Team on the Rocket League State Championship! The team beat Louisville Trinity in the state semifinal this morning and Montgomery County in the final. This is the Esports Team’s third state championship in its history. Go Purples!
Fifth grade students across the district have learned from a history-themed STEAM challenge while learning about the Revolutionary War. Will they reenact history?
Instead of muskets and horses, the students were armed with LEGO robots and chromebooks. Each team was challenged to "enlist" components to modify their robots, preparing their "army" for battle. Then, students had to code their robots with movements to navigate their designated battlefields.
Bowling Green High School Medical Arts students performed live venipunctures today on faculty and staff volunteers. Certification as a phlebotomy technician requires a minimum of thirty venipunctures and ten capillary or finger sticks on live individuals. BGHS Medical Arts students will be eligible for the CPT exam in May and certification after graduation.
The future of healthcare is in good hands!
